Hey there. When I first started podcasting, I didn’t know if any of my ideas were worth sharing. The thought of putting myself out there, even for a three-minute solo segment, was daunting. But I made a deal with myself. For one month, I’d publish something every single day. At the time, I didn’t care about perfect execution. My goal was simply to take action and start.
Read MoreHey there. Recently, I’ve been getting back into the gym with a structured upper body/lower body split, focusing on exercises that allow me to work around my foot injury. One of these exercises, the hamstring curl machine, has always been a bit of a struggle for me.
Read MoreHey there. Let’s talk about people faking their healing journeys. Now, I know it’s a loaded topic, but it’s worth addressing because it’s an easy trap to fall into.
Read MoreHey there. At some point in your life, you’ve probably placed someone else’s opinion above your own. Maybe it was something they said, did or perhaps it was a pattern of behavior you couldn’t escape. Without realizing it, you allowed their opinions to dictate how you lived. The thing is, their opinions don’t matter.
Read MoreHey there. In the weight loss space “and in life in general” you hear people talk about distancing themselves from their "old self." It’s like we’re trained to believe the past version of us holds no value. This mindset, reinforced by societal expectations, contributes to internal turmoil for so many people.
Read MoreHey there. Let’s talk about a feeling we’ve all faced. It creeps in when you don’t know what’s going to happen. Uncertainty, anxiousness, doubt…you know the ones. Here’s the thing, everyone feels it. The real difference lies in how you respond to it, and that response shapes where you’re headed.
Read MoreHey there. At some point, you’ll stop chasing external motivation and validation. When you’re ready, you’ll turn inward, where your true drive resides. It’s a powerful shift.
Read MoreHey there. Want to know how you can figure out anything you want to do? It boils down to two essential steps: keeping your goals actionable and maintaining a calm, focused mindset. Simple, right? Let’s break these down because understanding and applying them can completely shift how you approach your goals and life in general.
Read MoreHey there. You have to have hope. No matter where you are in life right now, no matter what you’ve been through, please don’t lose hope. Maybe it’s been months or years since you felt like yourself. Maybe you’ve fought so hard against your own doubts that you’ve started to believe your dreams aren’t meant for you. I want to remind you…that spark inside you is still there.
Read MoreHey there. Today, I want to dive into something that can transform the way you approach health and fitness, shifting your focus from outcomes to actions. This simple yet powerful mindset change can help you break free from the roller coaster of dieting and create sustainable habits that last a lifetime.
Read MoreHey there. Have you ever felt like you’ve been riding the diet roller coaster your entire life? Jumping from one program to the next, chasing fleeting results, and trying to hit elusive weight loss goals? If so, you’re not alone. The fitness industry thrives on this cycle, keeping us focused on short-term outcomes and unrealistic expectations.
Read MoreHey there. Let me ask you something…what are you good at?
Read MoreHey there. When you first start taking action, it’s easy to feel invisible. You might wonder if anyone notices the effort you’re putting in or if your work is making an impact. In those early stages, few, if any, people will pay attention. But here’s the truth: when you stick with it, keep showing up, and continue to put in the work, things begin to shift. Over time, more people will notice, not because you’re seeking their validation but because the consistency of your efforts speaks volumes.
Read MoreHey there. At some point, you have to take action and move forward, even when you're still processing what you've been through and how you feel. It’s not easy, but staying stuck isn’t a solution either. This is something I’ve come to understand through my own experiences and from conversations I’ve had with others, particularly men, about mental and emotional health.
Read MoreHey there. When we talk about mental health for men, the conversation often centers on "awareness." But awareness is only the first step. What’s truly transformative—and, frankly, what takes more courage—is acknowledgment. Not just acknowledging mental health as a concept, but personally recognizing and working through your own emotions, struggles, and experiences.
Read MoreHey there. We often hear the advice to "stop caring what others think." On the surface, it sounds empowering—a call to ignore outside opinions and stand confidently in your own truth. But let’s be real: caring, at least a little, is part of being human. The key isn’t to stop caring entirely but to get to a place where you’re okay with not receiving approval from everyone.
Read MoreHey there. Being comfortable in your own skin isn’t about body composition, the number on a scale, or how you stack up to someone else’s highlight reel. It’s much deeper than that.
Read MoreHey there. Life is a constant motion, and while the world keeps turning, so should we. That doesn’t mean we need to hustle endlessly without pause, but it does mean that progress, in all its forms, is vital. Whether we’re moving at full speed or taking a step back to refocus, the key is to keep moving forward.
Read MoreHey there. We all experience emotional pain—whether it's from life circumstances, self-doubt, or the relentless pressures we face. The question is, what do we do with that pain? For a long time, I internalized mine. I used it to tear myself down, piece by piece, from the inside out. Maybe you’ve done the same. Perhaps you’ve let your inner critic dictate how you see yourself, your worth, and your contributions to the world.
Read MoreHey there. In a fitness world dominated by six-pack chasers, “100% clean eaters,” and obsessive scale watchers, it can feel like success is defined by rigid rules and unattainable ideals. But here’s the truth: happiness and lasting results don’t come from fitting into the “normal” mold. They come from doing what works for you, embracing your preferences, and creating your own path.
